So I have 3 text views to show the forecast of the next 3 days. I used view binding to bind the views but I feel there's a much simpler way of writing this but I can't think of a solution. How could I iterate through the days of the week and set the text view accordingly?
'''
// getting day of the week
private val dayOfWeek: DayOfWeek = LocalDate.now().dayOfWeek
// getting day of week as int value
private val dayNum: Int = dayOfWeek.value
'''
''' // 1 = monday etc
private fun forecastDays() {
when (dayNum){
// forecast of next three days
1 -> {
binding.tvDay1.text = "Tuesday"
binding.tvDay2.text = "Wednesday"
binding.tvDay3.text = "Thursday"
}
2 -> {
binding.tvDay1.text = "Wednesday"
binding.tvDay2.text = "Thursday"
binding.tvDay3.text = "Friday"
}
3 -> {
binding.tvDay1.text = "Thursday"
binding.tvDay2.text = "Friday"
binding.tvDay3.text = "Saturday"
}
4 -> {
binding.tvDay1.text = "Friday"
binding.tvDay2.text = "Saturday"
binding.tvDay3.text = "Sunday"
}
.. etc

You can probably do it with DateFormatter
i guess . Here is the one other approach with map. u can make daysMap
as a constant.
val daysMap = mapOf(
1 to "Sunday", 2 to "Monday", 3 to "Tuesday", 4 to "Wednesday", 5 to "Thursday", 6 to "Friday", 7 to "Saturday"
)
val dayOfWeek: DayOfWeek = LocalDate.now().dayOfWeek
val dayNum: Int = dayOfWeek.value
binding.tvDay1.text = daysMap[(dayNum + 1) % 7]
binding.tvDay2.text = daysMap[(dayNum + 2) % 7]
binding.tvDay3.text = daysMap[(dayNum + 3) % 7]
